Nurses' and Nursing Assistants' Experiences With Teleconsultation in Small Rural Long-Term Care Facilities: Semistructured Interview Pilot Study.

Background: In Quebec, the shortage of nurses during night shifts compromises the safety and quality of resident care, particularly in small residential and long-term care centers ("Centres d'hébergement et de soins de longue durée"; CHSLDs) located in rural areas. The need to ensure the continuous presence of nurses 24 hours a day in CHSLDs has become more pressing, forcing some facilities to implement exceptional measures such as on-call telephone services to ensure access to a nurse. In light of these challenging circumstances, the Direction nationale des soins et des services infirmiers of Quebec's Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux has rolled out a teleconsultation pilot project.

Salty surprises: Developmental and behavioral responses to environmental salinity reveal higher tolerance of inland rather than coastal Bufo spinosus tadpoles.

Salinization is predicted to intensify due to climate change, impacting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Amphibians, particularly embryos and larvae, are highly susceptible to environmental salinity. Yet, local adaptation may cause differing vulnerabilities between coastal and inland populations.

Description of Feelings, Perception, and Experience Before and After Switching from IV Daratumumab to the SC Form: A Mixed-Method, Cross-Sectional Survey in Multiple Myeloma Patients in Europe.

Purpose: To provide real-world data on patient perceptions and experiences with subcutaneous (SC) versus intravenous (IV) daratumumab.

Patients And Methods: This was a cross-sectional, mixed-method (qualitative/quantitative) survey conducted in France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom involving multiple myeloma (MM) patients who switched from IV to SC daratumumab in the last 12 months (qualitative phase) or 24 months (quantitative phase [26 months in the UK]) prior to enrollment in the study.

Results: Nine patients (mean age 65 years) participated in the qualitative phase and 113 patients (mean age 65.

Long-Term Follow-Up of the Prospective Randomized AATT Study (Autologous or Allogeneic Transplantation in Patients With Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma).

JCO Primary analysis of the phase III randomized AATT study showed that younger patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) consolidated with autologous or allogeneic transplantation (alloSCT) had similar event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). Seven-year EFS of patients randomly assigned to alloSCT was 38% (95% CI, 25 to 52) compared with 34% (95% CI, 22 to 47) for patients randomly assigned to autologous transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (autoSCT); OS was 55% (95% CI, 41 to 69) and 61% (95% CI, 47 to 74). Among patients undergoing alloSCT (n = 26) or autoSCT (n = 41) on study, the cumulative progression/relapse rate was 8% (95% CI, 0 to 19) and 55% (95% CI, 35 to 74).

Highly Transmissive, Processable, Highly Conducting and Stable Polythiophene Derivatives via Direct (Hetero)arylation Polymerization.

The development of modern optoelectronic devices increases the need for lightweight and flexible transparent conductors. It is thus essential to develop new eco-friendly materials that can be easily processed for the fabrication of such devices. For this purpose, the synthesis of self-doped, highly conducting, transmissive, and water-processable polythiophene derivatives was performed via the direct heteroarylation polymerization method and a protection/deprotection strategy.
